Quote/s of the Day – 7 March – The Feast of St Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) Doctor Angelicus, Doctor Communis
“If, then, you looking for the way by which you should go,
take Christ for He, Himself is the Way.”
“But of the people, many believed in him …”
John 7:31
“Therefore, hold fast to Christ if you wish to be safe.
You will not be able to go astray because He is the Way.
He who remains with Him does not wander
in trackless places; he is on the right Way.
Moreover, he cannot be deceived
because He is the Truth and He teaches every Truth.
And He says: For this I was born and for this I have come, to bear witness to the Truth.
Nor can he be disturbed because He is both Life a
nd the giver of life. For He says: I have come
that they may have life and have it more abundantly.”
“The more one longs for a thing,
the more painful does deprivation of it become.
And because, after this life,
the desire for God, the Supreme Good,
is intense in the souls of the just –
(because this impetus toward Him,
is not hampered by the weight of the body
and that time of enjoyment,
of the Perfect Good, would have come)
had there been no obstacle.
The soul suffers enormously,
from the delay.”
“We are like children,
who stand in need of masters,
to enlighten us and direct us
and God has provided for this,
by appointing His Angels,
to be our teachers and guides.”
